The Packmind extension is available on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Packmind for Visual Studio Code provides a new tab in your activity bar :

Clicking on this tab will open a panel that allows a logged-in user (with a configured api key) to view all his spaces and practices as well as the current sessions and battles.

The window is divided into three sections: practices (upper section), ongoing sessions (middle section) and ongoing battles (lower section). All these sections are represented as a tree. Each node of the tree can be expanded to load additional information.

For the practice section (upper section) :

  • The first layer of nodes represents the catalogs to which the user has access.

  • The second layer represents all the practices of the corresponding catalog.

Once in the practice layer, a simple click on a practice node opens a new tab in your IDE with more information about it.

Concerning the sections with the current sessions and battles, if you click on one of the items you will be redirected in your browser to the page with the corresponding information.
